“It’s a horrible position for health care providers to be in, to be unsure about what’s legal and what’s not legal, and to be questioning the care that they know that they should provide." Dr. Jennifer Kerns in The Associated Press apnews.com/article/aborti…

I’m gonna say the California Future of Abortion Council. In less than 1 year, supported a historic bill package that passed, a constitutional amendment passed/on ballot & got $205 million in new budget funding. All of this accomplished in coordination with the California Legislative Women's Caucus.

#Give828, we see y'all! Thank you for being in community with us, CCRF stays fighting for sexual & reproductive freedom. We've got more exciting ways to support the Reproductive Freedom Fund coming soon. Let's put funds back into our communities!
